#rememberday I fatti di modena yesterday January 9, 1950 "In a State that has abolished the death penalty even for the most heinous crimes, you have been sentenced to death, and the sentence was executed on the spot in the streets of the city, before the horrified people. Who condemned you to death? Who killed you? An irresponsible and wicked prefect, a police chief? A cynical minister of the interior. A prime minister who can only take the mournful pride of having deliberately chosen to break that unity of the nation that had been tempered in the glorious struggle against the foreign invader; of having written on its banners those words of hatred against workers and the division of national life that were once the hallmark of fascism and are now his. You asked for only one thing, work, which is the essence of life for all men worthy of that name. A society that cannot provide work for all its members is a cursed society. Cursed are the men who, proud to hold power in their hands, cling to the top of this cursed society, and with the violence of arms, with murder and slaughter, reject the most humble request a man can make: the request to work" quoted P.T.
